Presented by Judy Bailey, the most iconic of New Zealanders, this new season of Decades In Colour travels all the way from the war-torn 1940s to the tumultuous 1980s, discovering stories about HOME, WORK and PLAY, from the inside out.

Conducting another nationwide search for home-shot colour footage, this NZ On Air Platinum Funded series weaves together home movies, personal anecdotes and communal memories of the different ways Kiwis worked, lived and played.

From a lighthouse keeper to an early professional skateboarder, to an inner city apartment dweller and back to a war-time female tram driver, the new season of Decades In Colours presents a cast of extraordinary “ordinary” storytellers to tell an unofficial but very real and delicious slice of Kiwi history.

Decades In Colour is made with the support of NZ On Air's Platinum Fund

While lifestyles and working hours may have changed, our appreciation of “getting away from it all” and “getting together” hasn’t. The Kiwi summer reigns supreme, and space and freedom continue to be cherished.
